Damn it. I'm done trying to suck up.
You were sucking up...?
I'm thinking that you don't understand the concept of that. Besides, I'd much prefer you were open about what you think instead of trying to protect little ol' me.

Who the hell is supposed to be taking care of our children?
Yes. Men can stay home just as easily as a woman can. But this doesn't happen either.
Sexism aside: women are anatomically and psychologically better equipped at raising children. That's not sexism, its a fact of nature.
Actually, I imagine it varies from person to person. Remember Andrea Yates? I would say that there's a woman who shouldn't be left alone with kids, what about you?
Or, if that name doesn't ring a bell, look at Britney Spears, for chrissakes. Yeah, there's a shining example of motherhood. But hey, she's got tits and a ******, so she should magically know how to take care of a kid, right??

Why shouldn't this be so?
Do you see my point here? Because I think you're just reading "Wimmin is for the babiez" and jumping my case.
I'm "jumping on your case" because you're implying not only that I really only should be staying home raising my husbands offspring instead of working, but you're also implying that my husband wouldn't be as good a caregiver as I would.
Don't get me wrong, you're raising some good points about parents not being able to stay home with their kids. I agree 110%. That's the economy's fault, however. If anyone in my household was going to give up a job to stay at home, it'd be my husband because he makes so much less. In a lot of household's, it would be the other way around. Not because the mommy has it ingrained in her to be a mommy, but because
women don't make as much as men on average!
